The candidates were set to interview in front of the Clark County Republican Screening Committee members Saturday, according to Clark County Republican Chairperson Dan Harkins.
The Screening Committee is made up of 14 area Republicans including Clark County Sheriff Deb Burchett, auditor John Feder, recorder Nancy Pence and commissioner Melanie Wilt Flax.
Carter and Collins are former Clark County assistant prosecutors. Driscoll is the acting prosecutor, having been appointed to the position by the Clark County Commission a day after Wilson resigned.
Along with the interviews on Saturday, the Clark County Republican Central Committee will also interview the candidates themselves on Feb. 4.

The screening committee will make their recommendations to the central committee after the interviews are complete. However, the central committee does not necessarily have to follow their recommendation, Harkins said.
The central committee is expected to make its selection on Feb. 21.
The person chosen will serve as prosecutor until 2020, when the seat is up for reelection.
